It's Sunshine Week, an annual push for open government and the public’s right to know stuff.
Democrats in the state House tied the introduction of a package of bills to Sunshine Week. The bills include a number of changes to Michigan's laws and constitution regarding ethics, campaign finance, and elections.
State House Speaker Jase Bolger spent today campaigning with Governor Rick Snyder.
Bolger is facing a potentially close vote next Tuesday in his southern Michigan state House district.
Jase Bolger has been dogged by allegations his office violated state campaign finance laws, when he helped facilitate a last minute party switch by a west Michigan state lawmaker earlier this year.
